Burial Insurance Underwriting

As we mentioned before they use simplified underwriting when looking at your health conditions.

You will never need to take a medical exam for these plans they won’t do any blood tests and run away like a vampire. When it comes to burial insurance with lupus they will ask you health questions and perform a Medical Information Bureau Health Report & Prescription Check.

Medical Information Bureau(MIB)

The Medical Information Bureau is a database where all your medical reports and information is stored. Every time you have been to the doctor, hospital, clinic, any diagnosis is all recorded in this database and linked to your Social Security Number.

This means when you are applying for life insurance coverage they will look at this database to see how your conditions are being handled. If everything checks out and lines up with their application questions you will be approved.

Furthermore, you can be approved for level day one coverage with your lupus with the right carrier which is great isn’t it?

“I also really admire The Lupus Foundation of America for their efforts to help improve the quality of life for patients with this disease.” – Tim Connon Founder & CEO ParamountQuote

Prescription Check

The carriers will also perform a prescription check at the time of the application. The great news is they will not look at lupus medications as red flags most of the time.

Acceptable Medications Include:

• Hydroxychloroquine
• Steroids
• NSAIDs
• Ibuprofen
• Naproxen
• Indomethacin
• Nabumetone
• Celecoxib
• Aspirin

Furthermore, when looking for insurance and insurance quotes from other companies is they want to take a “one size fits all” approach to their customers this means they will stick you into a 2 year waiting period guaranteed issue life insurance policy when you do not need it.

A guaranteed issue policy should be a last resort if you cannot qualify for anything else.

Eligibility Requirements for Burial Insurance with Lupus

In the table below you will see the eligibility requirements for burial insurance. This is all information that the life insurance company will want to know when underwriting your policy.

Eligibility Requirement	Description

Types of Burial Insurance to Avoid

Burial insurance is a marketing term for whole life insurance. With that being said there are types of burial insurance that are not whole life and need to be avoided.

Term Life Insurance

This is not burial insurance because it will expire. Term policies only last for a length of the term, once that term is over if you re-apply the premium will increase to reflect your new age. If you get sick in between the renewal they may deny you coverage.

Furthermore, this is why we speak with so many clients that had rates increase on them or their coverage dropped because they were not prepared for what their coverage actually was. The clients we have spoken with believed they did have burial insurance only to find out it became unaffordable and a burden to keep in force.

Real burial insurance needs to be whole life insurance that is permanent coverage for the rest of the time you are alive. This means that no matter what happens your rate never increases and your family is guaranteed that death benefit.

TV Advertising

With burial insurance and lupus you must be wary of TV ads promoting this product.

Unfortunately most of the time these advertisements lead consumers into buying a product with a 2-year waiting period or a term because the consumer did not read the small print in the commercial.

False Price Advertising

Last but certainly not least is false pricing. TV Ads promote $9.99 policies when in reality this means $9.99 per unit of insurance which is $9.99 per every $1000 of insurance. This means if you wanted a policy for $10,000 of a face amount you would be paying $90 a month. Here’s the kicker, if you are healthy and at a certain age you could wind up paying $30 a month for $10,000 of coverage.

This is why you are doing the right thing right now. Doing research and homework to make sure you are making an informed decision.
